The Failure of Our Schools in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Our schools are failing. There is no question on that. However, a good question is: Why are our schools failing? To tell you the truth, our schools are failing because they have ceased to become academic establishments. Instead, they're the great American melting-pot. Personal Thought: Melting down our youth and turning them into nothing. However, are schools meant to be a source of idealogy or a source of knowledge. See, chil

Of those, I suggest Athena. It's enough to make me want WindowBlinds myself. Contemplating getting it on CD. I've already used up my trial, if I get it on CD, do I get a download copy/activation key/whatever (sue my poor memory)? Or do I just have to wait for it to arrive?

Reply to 16 year old in Guantanamo! in Ethics JoeUser Forums

Excuse me, I find a sixteen year old, with an Ruger P-90, planning to kill Bush with a smoke grenade, with 100 bullets in his belt, or a rocket that can fly a hundred meters and deliver a payload, he should not have been out in Afghanistan in the first place, and should be back with his parents. And they should punish whoever broke his conscience. Guantanamo Bay is not as bad as they say, or else, it's a violation of our own rules for ourselves. I sleep fine, and I'd beg

Reply to History Revisited in History Stardock Forums

Back in school, one year, we weren't allowed to listen to Christmas music. Secular "Christmas" music, mind you, just celebrating the holidays, because 1 person out of forty in our classroom had an objection (this was, of course, in public school). That was, as far as I recall, one of about eight days she was there the entire quarter. She was in good enough health, too.

Reply to Sugar Addiction in Health & Medicine Stardock Forums

I've never really had any problems with sugar. When I diet, it's quantity, not quality (or unhealthiness) of food that I decrease. However, I've heard that some people have had problems with sugar. Have you tried a pure cacao chocolate bar? It'd be relatively low sugar, and would give that chocolate kick. However, it would be bitter. Try: <a title="Chocolate "Nibs" (Try to find others, the ones shown here say they're organic, but so is 90% of cacao)" href="http://www.a

Don't worry, I agree with you here. It's a bad, bad crime, but you can't punish people for a picture of their children. (That is, if they don't use it for indecent purposes)

Reply to Simple explanation of inflation. in Politics Stardock Forums

Actually, inflation is when the value of money drops, say, by printing too much without enough progress to back it up. If your supply halved, you would have a supply problem, not inflation, driving up the price.

But don't try to create an article that derived from an argument on another article and expect different comments on it.

[quote]1. Do you not realize that this articles came upon from comments made on another article? 2. How can you think that this article is somehow separate, unique, it's own topic when this same topic was being discussed on your other article? 3. It's obvious you felt this particular topic deserved it's own comments, 4. comments that were based on "projecting" and "impressing" from the other article. 5. What did you think would happen on this article? 6. I just don't understand why everything

[quote]You don't wanna understand, you wanna control, you wanna be absolute (I like that word) and that does nothing for a good debate.

General consensus determines only one thing: Government. Oh, and also the winner of the popularity contests. But what's the difference?

Shadowrun- Pursuit in Fiction Writing JoeUser Forums

February 7, 2039, Seattle Outskirts Patch raced along the highway out of Seattle, chased by a group of eight uniformed foes. She didn't speak English, so she couldn't ask them, but she was pretty sure the logos they bore belonged to the Humanis Policlub, a radical anti-metahuman group. She, an Elf, fell perfectly into the target category. Her bike groaned with the stress of the high-speed pursuit. The light elf couldn't even risk shoot
